Company volunteering

We have some great opportunities for employees to volunteer with us. From one-day team challenges to pro bono sharing of knowledge and skills. Corporate volunteering can boost team spirit and engagement and, most of all, with just a few spare hours, make a real difference to families caring for a seriously ill child.

We offer a programme of corporate volunteering opportunities to all our key corporate partners and have a number of different challenges available. Here are some of the best ways you can get involved.

Free to volunteer at weekends? We have lots of events throughout the year that need an extra pair of hands. You can also join our cheer squads at sports events such as the London or Brighton Marathon to keep our runners motivated.

In this one-day challenge, teams spend the morning making chocolates, before packaging and pricing them ready to sell. You'll need to consider a marketing strategy and come up with a name for your tasty creations!

This team building exercise requires groups to buy and source products to then sell at a “pop- up shop” and compete with your colleagues to raise the most money. An extra prize is given for the best sales display!

Raise a smile and create beautifully crafted, wooden toys for the children we support. Start the day with an introduction to Rainbow Trust and some ice breaking mini challenges before cutting, sanding and assembling.

This challenge sees teams go head to head, using their contacts, charm and wit to secure raffle and auction prizes to help raise funds at forthcoming events. The team who has the highest value of items sourced within the allocated time wins.

Sharing your skills

Do you have knowledge or experience that could be invaluable to our charity? You could help us support more families and raise more money by sharing your time and expertise. Support a particular member of the team or hold group workshops to help us with innovative ways of working.

If you would like to know more about any of our challenges, or to chat through your ideas, please call us on 01372 220090 or email us here.
